The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a village or hamlet like Hale, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Sand mastic in Hale, done properly
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted and we’ll advise if you are redecorating. We work on stone surrounds, sash and case windows and brick reveals, and the jobs we see most are weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and window mastic to renew ahead of painting.
Somewhere as small as Hale, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Hale homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Breamore House (about 2.5 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hale as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Hale Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens if it’s left?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. In a small place like Hale, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Cracked or broken glass
- Timber that has rotted
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber, which can lead to rot.
What affects the cost of sand mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
